1:72 Desert Rats


These are WW2 British infantrymen in North Afrika. The figures are clones recasted from the Airfix set. The Desert Rats is the nickname for the British 7th Armoured Division and also the British 8th Army.

The figures are a bit tall for 1:72 figures and the features are quite soft. Some of the thinner details like rifle tips, pistols, etc. are malformed and the figures have moldlines and a bit of flash that will need shaving. I'm using these as basis for Sikh convertions.

    These will be an excellent basis for conversion - I look forward to seeing the end result!

Airfix 1:32 Afrika Korps

The Airfix range of military figures is one of the iconic brands of plastic toy soldiers I grew up with. Airfix is a UK manufacturer of plastic scale model kits founded in 1939 by Humbrol and currently owned by Hornby, a famous UK model railway brand. This is the latest reissue of their classic Deutsche Afrika Korps, the German expeditionary force in Libya and Tunisia during the North African Campaign of World War II. The box contains 14 figures. Click the picture above to go to the Airfix webpage for these figures.
